Daily Deliberation: 14 January 2020
There are those who are humble and those about to be humbled. I have a twisted blood lust for know-it-alls. You know, when those you try to advise, but they know it all already. It makes me smile when they fall flat on their face. I know this is a terrible trait for me to…

Daily Deliberation: 13 January 2020
We set out as leaders to make our teams better. We want to improve the organization overall. However, many of us do not take the time to improve ourselves first. Our team can only go as fast as their leader. Invest in the betterment of yourself and then use that to serve your team.

I am not a fan of personality tests because I think they place labels on us that we allow to define us: “I am an INTJ; I am a Green; etc”. However, I do love the insight they provide in a nonthreatening way. Some people will actually reflect on what they learn and try to…

Daily Deliberation: 6 January 2020
In the early days of Internet blogging and chat rooms, I wrote a lot of articles and held many debates on religion.
